THE GOOD TIME COMING. II
We Are Living in the Best Age So Fal
EvOlyel-Retter to Follow.

We Are Living in the Best Age So Far
EvOlved-Retter to Follow.
It is comforting to reflect tina. we have the
pleasure to be living in the very best age SO
far evolved Even if we have sentimental
sigbings for a more idyllic past, we must
admit that our own time is the most eager,
alert, daring, well meaning, comfortable and
even humane Of periods And certainly
almost every physical discovery and inven-
ton of the last ninety years has been utilized
foi the direct benefit of mankind Steam en-
CINE, telegraph, telephone, photograph, all
machinery, whether agricultural, manufac-
turing or domestic, help the masses. SAM
tary science seeks their benefit. Social science
concerns itself with their disabilities. And
if the need is immensely beyond its satisfac-
ton, the great thing is to have discovered the
need and attempted the satisfaction.
It is true, indeed, as a certain school of
moralists assert, tnat the Introduction of ma
chinery has been followed by certain disas-
trous results The artisan who formerly
made a whole shoe, whale watch a whole
house, and brought an intelligent compre-
hension TO every part, and developed AN in
telligent manhood, now tends the machine
that cuts sole, punches disk, or turns out
a window sash, and becomes a mere ma
chine in the process. The old seamstress,
whose head was not less clever than her
hands, has given place to the mere Operator"
who pays you out unnumbered yards Of
stitching from her sewing machine, and has
neither invention, discretion, nor correctness
of eye to see whether two sleeves are alike.
Those accomplished young ladies, with pink
parasols. celebrated by Dickens in 1S41, who
tended the Lowell looms by day and read
poetry and ancient history at night, are super
seeded by the foreign 'hand," who is a hand
only. And this subdivision of labor, with its
dulled intelligence does no doubt lead to dis
contentment and strikes But it seems TO be
a law of advancement that the i'll results of
any radical change of condition show them
selves first. The process of adjustment is
long and difficult. Other forces must be
brought into play to secure a new balance
So far we have been undergoing the tram
sition period. with its penalties. But it is
plain that the scope and direction of our
teaching are TO be changed. As the machine,
approximating more and more to human in
telligence, lifts the burden of toll, the better
taught human creature viii approximate less
and less to the machine, and the slow drudge
will once more give place to the alert man.
Wider sanitary knowledge will keep him
healthy and powerful. Health and energy
as cabbages for his pot.-Harpers Bazaar.

More SeaierS Captured.

The Olympian, from Sitka, brought
he startling news that another lot of
British and American schoUners have
been captured by the revenue cutter
Rush and taken to Sitka. and that as
the steamer was leaving the revenue
cutter again hove III sight. having Il
number OF schOOuers in tow. Those
in Sitka are the Victoria schoOners

Z. Sayward, and the American 7chr
Challenger. Of Seattle. With the
schooners seized last year this makes
seven British vessels now in charge
of the Alaskan authorities, and they
Will, no doubt. be added to as it seems
the intention of the Americans to
seize every schooner that they CAN
secure anywhere within the waters of
Behring sea. 1t was not thought
probable that such measures would
have been taken, in the face of infor-
nation received from Washington
and Ottawa. However. a lack OF
diplomacy or energy seems to have
prevailed, and no decisive answer
was given to official queries made to
the United States authorities IN re
gard to the programme they purpOsed
to follow during the present season.
The following statement of the
captain Of the captured sealer Anna
Beck Is taken from the Alaskan of
July, 3D.:
L left Victoria on February last,
clearing at the custom house, for the
purpose of Il sealing and fishing trip

and go when they please"
An APPARENT CHANGE OF POLICY.
What makes the present seizures
more ineXplicable is the fact That the
British schooners seized last year
were ordered released by Attorney
General Garland

Survival Of the FitteSs.

One Of the DarwIuian axiolns that
has established itself beyond per
adventure Of ii7proof, Is the princi -
pie OF the survival of the iitteSt.
In accordance with the stories OF
this principle, the careful student of
history ana men will observe that the
white race Is asserting itself as the
titte7t. Ia all parts of the habtable
globe 1t has planted itself Ill pertina-
cIOuS security, and thrives and in
creases and makes its manners and
customs the predominant and ruling
dictum of fashion.
The Alta, III comparing the Chi
nese with the white race, saws:
Physicians observe that Chinese
who attempt to get foothold east of
the Rocky Mountains, soon succumb
to accute or chronic lung disease and
other forms Of organic invasion. This
proves that they have not the vital
resistance of recuperative force to
support a variety of climatic condi-
tiOns. Even "a change to European
costume fails to protect them. Long
usage has adapted them to certain
physical conditions, and when they
stray beyond these they perish The
white man Is the only one that has
the powers of adaptation to widely
different physical condition, and We
find 1t tiourishing in every latitude
between the two polar circles The
white man seems designed by nature
to penetrate all places. and his CON
stitutional fiber is so adaptable, and
his resistance is so at command that
be can secure degree OF comfort
and pleasuro almost anywhere on the
planet
Many have expressed fears that
the Chinese would eventually crowd
out the white race, but these facts
seem to quiet any such fears, foI
which there has really never been
any foundation whatever. The
crowding capacity Is predominant
feature of the white race and pos
sessed by them in Il greater degree
than any other race III the world
The only grounds for thoughts oi
that nature arise from noting the
pertinacious growth of the Celestials
on this coast, which the Alta ac-
counts for on the very plausible
showing that we have an AsiatiC
climate. 1t says: Now we call
these facts 20 the attention of the
